[OT?] Program to convert flv file to a DVD

[Char Jackson]

There are likely extensive threads already written on the subject.

http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/202228-How-to-convert-flv-(flash-video)-to-avi-or-mpg

Since the providers of videos, go out of their way to prevent conversion,
never expect this process to be error free (or good quality). You might
find a tool to do the conversion, but lose too much quality in the process.

It's an flv file. It likely didn't have any real quality to begin with.

And please can we have recommendations based *not on experience with
just one program* but at least based on experience having used at least
two different similar programs. Otherwise recommendations mean nothing.

A sheepshagger who has never been with a woman will obviously recommend
that you shag sheep too.--

I would love to steal that analogy, but I can't imagine where or when I
would ever use it.

I downloaded the complete suite, finding some of it useful but none of the
programs will add a title, nothing fancy, to a dvd video file before
burning.

Any recommendations for a program to convert/write flv file to a DVD?

Download and install the whole suite, there are a lot of useful
elements.
Or just download the Free Youtube to DVD part

I find that choro's statement about recommendations is flawed.

If I have used a program that works well for me, I don't see why I have
to try another one before I can tell someone about it.

As for using the analogy, I have to admit that I can't think of what to
do with it (he said sheepishly).

I see why he requests what he does. Yes, if you've used one utility and
found it good, you can enthuse about it - as can other single users of
other single prog.s. This doesn't, however, help anyone to decide
between multiple options: it could just be that you (or someone else)
are better at writing in praise of something, rather than that it is
actually better. By asking for direct comparisons, he gets (if anyone
replies!) comparisons between two or more such utilities described _by
the same person_. (OK, personal bias can still rear its head, but at
least he isn't having to compare different people's views. And if he's
lucky, he'll get two or more people who happen to have compared the same
two utilities.

Or to simplify the above unwieldy paragraph: yes, you can say utility A
is great; what you can't do is say it is better than utility B which you
haven't tried.

As for using the analogy, I have to admit that I can't think of what to
do with it (he said sheepishly).

Yes, I know. I thought that's what I said...

Yes, but reading between the lines (or he may have explicitly said it),
the OP wanted help in _choosing between_ the various recommendations
that he knew would come up. Single reviews/recommendations wouldn't help
him there much, if they were from different people.
